What We Do

We believe everyone everywhere should have the health care they need to thrive. That’s why we work every day to improve the performance of health workers around the world and strengthen the systems in which they work.

Our partnership is something new, both for us and for the world of international development. It’s not a merger. It’s not an acquisition. It’s a unique affiliation agreement that will help us work together toward new advances in global health.

It’s been clear for a while now that major changes in funding and policy are shaking and shaping the field of international development. And that despite the enormous progress we’ve made in global health, there’s still a lot to do.

If we want to keep doing good—and achieve the global Sustainable Development Goals—we need to be creative about it. We can’t transform global health all by ourselves, and we can’t do it without paying close attention to the many factors that affect health and well-being. Education, agriculture, the environment, gender equality—the list is long.

So it’s time to work together in bold new ways. And that’s what our new partnership is all about. Read more about how and why we’re doing it here:
